2->Mario & Tari have to defend the MULTIVERSE from the BEEGEST threat ever.
3
4In this special [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon episode]], a being known as the Grand Mario has rallied Marios from multiple universes in a bid to take over the multiverse out of revenge for being the butt of everybody's jokes. Now the only ones who can stop Grand Mario and his revolution are Mario, Tari, and...[[WebAnimation/MetaRunner Tari]].
5----
6* ADayInTheLimelight: A long overdue one for Tari.
7* AdaptationalBadass: ''[[WebAnimation/MetaRunner Meta Runner's]]'' Tari is ''much'' bolder than she is in her home series, not being afraid to torture [=SMG4=] Mario under the assumption that he's part of the revolution and rarely hesitating to kick ass.
8* AdaptationPersonalityChange:
9** Meta Runner Tari is a good deal more confident and mature than she is in her home series. While she chalks it up to CharacterDevelopment, since she started out more meek and unsure of herself just like [=SMG4=] Tari, she still has moments of vulnerability and uncertainty that aren't shown here.
10** In ''Meta Runner'', Skybreakers Tari is just regular Tari as she appears in another game. Here, she's a HotBlooded PirateGirl with an almost unrecognizably coarse voice.
11* AfterTheEnd: In this episode, ''WebAnimation/MetaRunner'' Tari's home, Silica City, was destroyed by the Grand Mario.
12* BaitAndSwitch: While trying to explain to Tari what's going on, Mario sees a portal open and freaks out and flees. It turns out it's Meta Runner Tari.
13* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Skybreakers Tari stops threatening the heroes when Beta Tari offers her some cookies.
14* BewareTheNiceOnes: After being terrified for the whole episode and having her kindness denied by the enemy, Beta Tari has had enough.
15-->'''Beta Tari:''' PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION.
16* BreatherEpisode: This episode was released in between the first and second episodes of the Lawsuit Arc.
17* CanonDiscontinuity: A disclaimer at the start of the video tells the viewer that nothing in the episode is canon, not just to the events of ''[=SMG4=]'', but ''Meta Runner'' as well.
18* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Beta Tari definitely seems to have a few screws loose compared to the other Taris.
19* ContinuityNod: The Grand Mario refers to all of the Marios as "[[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64BloopersGenesisArc universe avatars]]."
20* CoversAlwaysLie: Bootleg Mario (or 7 GRAND DAD) is seen on the thumbnail, but isn't in the actual video.
21* DecompositeCharacter: In ''Meta Runner'', Skybreakers Tari is simply the regular Tari's DigitalAvatar. Here, she's her own separate Tari with a distinct personality and voice.
22* DecoyProtagonist: The episode begins with the usual focus on Mario before giving the spotlight to the Taris, and after Mario and the Taris team up with the Skybreakers Tari, he gets abducted by Grand Mario, causing the rest of the episode to fully focus on the Taris saving the day and ending with them forgetting to bring Mario back. In addition, the video ends with [=SMG4=]'s avatar thanking the audience for watching the episode about Meta Runner Tari and then showing a promo for the final season of Meta Runner.
23* DramaticUnmask: Once Grand Mario successfully captures the mainline Mario, he reveals that he's going to use all his Marios to create TheMetaverse, taking off his mask to reveal [[Website/{{Facebook}} Mark Zuckerberg]] (or rather, [[SpellMyNameWithAnS "Zuccerberg"]]).
24* FakeCrossover: With ''WebAnimation/MetaRunner'', as the episode's events don't coincide with either series due to Meta Runner and Skybreakers Taris being separate from the main one instead of her DigitalAvatar.
25* KryptoniteFactor: [=SMG4=] Tari somehow knows that Zuccerberg is weak to alien repellent, because he's actually a tiny alien in a giant suit with Zuccerberg's head.
26* NonIndicativeName: Played with. While Mario and different Marios from alternate universes are featured in the episode, it's more of a DayInTheLimelight for Tari.
27* OhCrap: Way too many times to count but particular ones include when Mario wakes up at the start and sees all the other Marios and when Meta Runner Tari sees [=SMG4=] Mario for the first time.
28* SomethingWeForgot: After vanquishing Zuccerberg and sending the enemy Marios back to their own universes, the Taris all walk through portals to their own universes without realizing they left [=SMG4=] Mario behind.
29* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Mark Zuckerberg is called "Zuckerberg" here, likely for copyright reasons.
30* StockSoundEffects: Mario's "Hahahahahaha!" from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' when he falls into lava or cold water is utilized a lot here including twice in a row, first when [=SMG4=] Mario sees the 8-Bit Mario and then when, [=SMG4=] Mario, [=SMG4=] Tari and Meta Runner Tari are fleeing.
31* SuddenlyVoiced: {{Downplayed}}. [=SMG4=] Tari speaks with recycled voice lines in most episodes, but here she is fully voiced along with the other Taris.
32* TakeThat: This episode takes a crack at Mark Zuckerberg pushing for TheMetaverse by making him into a MultiversalConqueror who assembles Marios from every universe to build his ideal world.
33* TemptingFate: In the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' world, Mario jumps along the blocks and brags he's invincible. Cue him getting hit by a Koopa Paratroopa.
34* TokenHeroicOrc: Out of all of the Marios abducted by Grand Mario, [=SMG4=] Mario is the only one who doesn't want to be part of the revolution, forcing the other Marios to hunt him down.
35* UnexplainedRecovery: [=SMG4=] Mario is traumatized from almost being sniped in the pingas in the [=TF2=] segment. Upon arrival in the Super Mario Bros. World, he's back to normal (relatively speaking).
36* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: [=SMG4=] Tari's response to Mario falling to where she is via portal and getting up and looking around while panting is to look surprised at first before happily greeting Mario and asking him if he wants to play with her and Little Archibald (her rubber ducky).
37* VocalEvolution: [=SMG4=] Tari's new voice clips are noticeably softer and childlike than the others in comparison.
